I'll start...
My motivation came from the interaction that I had with A Phi A since I first became a Bulldog. I started my attendance at SC State during the Summer of 2003 through The SCAMP program. Because a majority of the Alpha's came through this program, they were used as mentors/tutors for the incoming freshmen. On top of that, the man who is over the program, is the advisor of the chapter who eventually became a father figure to me. Because they showed me so much love when I wasn't Frat, that showed me that they have a genuine brotherhood that I want to be a part of and finally became a part of. So my motivation was the realness that these boys showed me and how they represented themselves on our campus.
if this has already been a topic, then my bad :? ; post anyway

It would be sad if you pledged your moms sorority JUST cause your a legacy and your heart is not into it...basically doin it for the wrong reasons...atleast you recognize that you are unsure of what you wanna do and still researchin what is best and right for you. Pray on it, and let God reveal it to you.F.A.T.A.L wrote:uniquelady2006 wrote:This is going to be kinda tough for me. I hope that I won't offend any Greeks w/ my response or give out any clues as to which sorority I'm pursuing. Also, just like Miss_OES, I'm going to be real: My mother, my maternal grandmother, my aunt (mom's sister) and great-aunt (grandma's sister) are all members of various sororities, with the exception of one. For many years, my mother has (and still is) my motivator. At age 18, I started doing research on all 4 sororities, and having private conversations w/ Greeks about Greek life. Also, when I observe her sorority sisters, they always exuded pride, sisterhood, professionalism, etc in my eyes. I've also had past teachers who are members of different sororities as well, but I don't consider them my motivators. But now, I'm starting to think that my mother's sorority may not be for me (which I won't get into.) All 4 sororities have something that I like about them, therefore I'm now kinda confused as to which one I truly want to pursue.:???: I know that's sad, but I'm only being real.Chief Pharaoh wrote:Greeks: What/Who was your motivation to pursue membership into your respective organization?
